LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 3-1. Casey Blake gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the first inning against Ubaldo Jimenez (L, 19-8) with a line drive single off Jimenez’s foot that blooped over shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, and that was all Ted Lilly (W, 9-12) needed. Lilly pitched eight innings giving up only a run in the fourth inning. With Blake on third base, AJ Ellis accounted for the third run in the ninth inning with a line drive single of his own. Hong-Chih Kuo pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save of the season.

San Antonio Spurs defeat LA Clippers 86-83. As unwatchable as this game was at least it was more interesting than Monday Night Football. Basically the game was like this: bad team A plays bad team B. Bad team B ties the game very late in the game but gives up a 3-pointer to bad team A with eight seconds left to go. Bad team B loses. Before Roger Mason made that three for the Spurs, the last time the Spurs scored was with 5:20 left to go in the fourth quarter. Both offenses are horrible. Fortunately for the Spurs Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli come back next month. more ›

Here we are at the end of Week 1 of the NFL season, and we learned several things. Things learned the first: special teams are essential to win the game. In the Denver-Buffalo game with 14 seconds left in regulation and no times out left, the Broncos offense rushed off the field and the kicking unit came in. By the time the holder got the ball, there was only one second left in the... more ›
